H., Aug. 2.—Members and trlends of (he Christian Science church here are Industriously spread ing the report that the "next friends" are ready to‘abandon the suit to oblalr an accounting of Mrs. Eddy’s property If they can find way of escape. The rumor Is given color by the un announced visit paid the office of the attorneys for the defenfe by ex-Sena- tor Chandler, senior counsel for the plaintiff. Chandler, however, explained his visit was for arranging the taking of depositions regarding Mrs. Eddy's competency. THREE IN RACE FOR EASON’S PLACE As the result of a petition signed by a large number of the citizens of De- Kalb county and members of the leg islature, Captain R. H. Milledge, of Decatur, has determined to enter the race for prison commissioner, to suc ceed Commissioner Tom Eason, who will not be a candidate. This brings three announced candi dates Into the field, with the entries far from being closed. Chief of Police Wiley Williams, of Columbus, was the first to announce. He was at the capl- tol Thursday and said he would win the race easily. Representative Davidson, of Greene, is also a candidate. It Is hardly prob able that Senator Brock will enter the race, but many believe that Senator Hawes will do so. Unless the legislature allows the military department of the state $42»- 211.06, additional to the regular ap propriation of $25,000 per annum for maintenance. In order to conform to the Dick law by January 21, 1908, Geor gia will lose the $51,000 allowed by the national government. At a meeting of the house appropria tions committee Wednesday afternoon, Adjutant General A. J. Scott appeared and clearly set forth the needs of his department. He asked for the regular mainte nance fund of $25,000 for the years 1907 and 1908, $5,000 for expense In cident to the Atlanta and Macon riots, and $42,211.06 for the equipment fund This is $6,000 less than allowed for this special purpose last year. The total amount asked for for the two years of 1907 and 1908 Is $97,211.06. No action was taken on the matter by the committee Wednesday, but an other meeting will' be held Thursday afternoon. Unless the $42,211 Is al lowed It means that the national guard of Georgia will be no longer a part of the national guard of the United States. “The preservation of the national guard of Georgia absolutely depends on the granting of this special appro priation," said General Scott. “We will lose the $51,000 allowed by the government to aid In the equipment, and also our place In the national organization. I hope and believe we will secure what we ask for." EISEMAN & WEIL ‘‘The Daylight Corner* MISS ADDA HULSEY CALLED BY DEATH Miss Adda Hulsey, sister of the late Mrs. H. C.

He slipped out of the room again and Into hla own bedroom, where he caught up a couple of blankets and a pillow, coming out again Into the sitting room. "What does all this mean, Frank?” gasped Reginald. "Will you please keep quiet?" ordered Frank curtly. “There is no time to lose,” On one side of the room In which they stood was an Immense painting, covering almost the entire wall. It wasnn heirloom and the pride of Frank's heart. The city boasted few pointings of greater value than this, and It was worth many thousands of dollars. Frank stepped to the side of the painting and fumbled with Its frame, while Reginald gazed In aatonluhn'V't. The next Instant the painting turned on Its frame and revealed an open dark space behind It. Frank motioned for Reginald to crawl Int? this hole. "Take the blankets and pillow, Reg, spread yourself a bed and go to sleep. You will need all your strength for what Is before you, and It Is absolute ly necessary that you get some sleep. You will be os safe here, In fact safer, than anywhere else In the world for the present. "Husband your food supplies, though take only what you absolutely need, for you may have to stay In there for some time. Every home of the Bracebrldgea fifr generations has had a refuge like this,” he explained to Reginald. "A legend of the family says that every Brace- bridge of the clenched hand will need It some time. I meant you should know about It, Reginald, when you were thir ty and came Intot your Inheritance. Your father did not wish that you should know It before. It la useless to tell you why now." The doorbell pealed again more loud ly. Evidently the officers were growing Impatient. “Keep up your courage. Reginald/* said Frank, kindly, "Don’t scream or call out, no matter what you hear or how long you have to etay in there. Don't be frightened, either. If you should hcv some one crawling Into that closet from behind you. It will only be I. But do not attempt to get out by yourself.” Frank closed the painting agalnet the wall. For the moment Reginald was safe from observation. Katie,” he said solemnly, turning to the wide-eyed, trembling maid, who had witnessed Reginald's Incarceration In dumb wonder, "do you know what an oath Is?" Oh, yea," she stammered. 'T’ve heard my father say them often." "I don't mean that kind of an oath, Katie,” said Frnnk, the susplchm of a smile crossing hirv face. "I me»n an oath such as Is token In court where you sweat” to tell the truth.” If you are looking for toe prettiest of the new things in Jewelry, you will find them here and at the most reasonable prices.

I was a witness once when Mrs. Donnelly’s lit tle boy was bitten by Mrs. Sullivan's dog and"— "Never mind that now, but listen, for I must let those o(fleers In In a min ute." Katie's face blanched With fear when the officer* were mentioned, but Frank’s calm tones setmed to give her courage and she listened closely. "I want you to take an oath that you will never tell anybody what you lave seen and heard In this room to day. This secret passage of the Brace- bridges Is a secret of the family. No one else Is supposed to know of It. Now, put your right hand and repeat after "'The'awe-struck girl obeyed with. alacrity. "Now say this after me: ‘I swear before God that I will never tell any body what I saw or heard In this room today unless Frank Bracebrldge tells me to do so.’ ” Katie repeated the words, adding a fervent "Amen" at the end. "Now, Katie, sit down In that chair over there and keep perfectly qnlet. When the officers come In here. If they question you say that you came to me with the messngo that Sir. Reginald's wife was dead. If they ask you where Mr. Reginald Is, say you do not know, and that you have not seen him since he left his wife’s body a few moments after she died. Can you stick to that story?” "I'll do my best, sir,” said Katie. "That's right," smiled Frank, and hastened downstairs to admit the two detectives, who were evidently making preparations to break the door down. CHAPTER XIV. Wanted for Murder. Frank greeted the two men calmly. "Good evening, Bltttnger. How are you, Loftus? What's in the air? "We're sorry to trouble you, Mr. Bracebrldge," said Detective Rlttlnger, "but you probably Jnnw as well os we do that your cousin Is wanted for the murder of his wife," What I” exclaimed Frank, in well- We consider ourselves commercially responsible for ever they’re made, with care to every detail, gives us entire confidence. fabric and workmanship ad low in price. that leaves our store.

"Reginald wanted for the murder of his wife! Nonsense! The boy was devoted to her." "I am sorry, Mr. Bracebrldge," said Blttlnger, firmly. "I may have my opinion as to whether you know about It or not, but the fact remains that hla wife Is dead and the physician who at tended her has refused to sign a death certificate, affirming that she died of poison, which he believes was admlnla tered In her food by her husband." "Impossible,” said Frank, angrily. "Who la this physician? "Where Is h«? Let me see him and I'll anon prove how ridiculous his charges are.” "Dr. Schmidt Is going back to Cleve land, I understand," replied Detective Loftus. "He was located here only temporarily. He has made his state ment to the coroner, however, and has offered to return whenever his testi mony Is needed.” “How did he have n right to practice medicine In New York, If he belongs in Cleveland?” asked Frank, the lawyer In him getting uppermost.

'And you generally do what you are told, Blttlnger," returned Frank. "I'll give you credit for that.” Rlttlnger .mlled hi. thanks for the compliment. "Wo try to do our duty,” he replied, although I am particularly sorry that It brings me here on this errand, be cause you have been a good friend of mine, Mr. Bracebrldge. But the tout!) Is, Loftus and Kane have been warch- Ing the house for two or three hoars, Loftus In the front and Kane at the rear. Kane Is still at Ills post.” Loftus saw a young fellow answering your cousin', description come In here about un hour ago. Neither Loftus nor Kane have eeen him go away. They waited for me to cotne with a warrant before coming In.” "Very well,” said Frank coolly, “I know what that means. I suppose you will not, take my word for it when I aay that he Isn’t here?" "Personally, I would, Mr. Brace brldge," said Blttlnger, "but business Is business, you know. 1 have got to seareli the houae.” "As you please," returned Frank. "Go anywhere you want to.” Detectives Blttlnger nnd Loftus were recognized as the most thorough ofll- In the New York police depart ment. When they searched a houz* there was no hook or cranny In It left unnoticed. Through all the lower floor they went, Frnnk accompanying them. Through tho servants’ quarters they made their'way, where the butler and the maids took their coming os though they were accustomed to having police invasions every day. Down Into the basement, through the laundry, the wine cellars and fruit cellar* tho officers went, followed everywhere by the master of the house. “There Is no one here." commented Blttlnger briefly. "Now for the cham ber*." Front led the way up*talr», the de tectives following closely at hi. heel.. They went Into every bed room on the second and third stories, Frank pur posely leaving his own library till the last. Finally, having met with no more success In their search of the upper floors than they had had below, they came Into the room where Katie aat, wild-eyed and trembling. Loftus strode across the room to hor. "What Is your name, young lady?" he asked kindly, with the confidential manner thnt had enabled him to draw many secrets from criminals. "Katie Mahoney, Jt you please, sir,” answered the girl" "You have Just come In from the outside, haven’t you?” said Loftus. "Where did you come from?" "I lust came to Mr. Bracebrldge with a message telling hint that his cousin's wife was dead,” replied Katie. "What did Mr. Reginald say when you told his cousin his wife was dead?" The simple girl fell into the trap of the clever detective readily enough. "He lust groaned," she answered. "Oh, he was here, then?” he said quietly. Then, sternly: "Now, my girl, tell us where Mr. Reginald went from this room?” But Katie had recovered her pres ence of mind. "Oh, Mr, Reginald wasn't here, sir," she said guilelessly. “I didn't under stand, I thought you asked me what Mr. Reginald gald when he learned hla wife was dead.” Loftus saw that It was of no use to question her further lust then. He got up and made the round of the room with Blttlngor, scrutinizing every crev ice and corner. Finally he stopped In front of the painting. He looked It over carefully. Then he beckoned to Blttlnger. "We’ll have to take this painting down from the wall,” he said In a law voice. • Frank waa standing near Katie and heard a little gasp as she looked at the detectives In dismay. He seized her by the arm almost brutally. "T will kill you If you scream or faint," ho whlepered hoarsely. Continued In Tomorrow’s Georgian.

GREAT MOVEMENTS LED BY NEWSPAPERS- Always it is the newspaper that blazes the trail which is great. It is the newspaper manager who first senses the unspoken of the masses of the want of the masses of the people who succeeds. There came Joseph Pulitzer and William R. Hearst with new ideas. Revolutionists, of course, but success is the measure of merit; perhaps a bad measure, yet the only one a newspaper publisher knows, or the world knows. “Yellow” journalism has won as a business. There are others. Ervin Wardman of the New York Press, a dyed in the wool Republican organ, saw the coming wave of radicalism three years ago. He sprang to the top of the wave and today he is the leading Republican editor of the state of New York. Now comes The Atlanta Georgian and News. A year ago it was started. F. L. Seely, th6 president of the company, and John Temple Graves, the editor, saw the coming wave* of prohibition sentiment which today is sweeping over all the Southern states. They flung out the flag of prohibition for Georgia and grasped the leadership of the movement. The eyes of millions are turning to them. —— THE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER (NEW YORK). k—4 —— - — .• ••• .4., ...-i, i : i : ! ; » i '■-J r.t 1., -.€** J * * 7*. ^ v>. - AT ■
